General information
☞
Read this manual carefully before installing or operating the equipment.
Observe the instructions contained in this manual
☞ Do not use any damaged equipment.
• Use the mounted handle when moving the pump.
Remove all packing material from the packing box. Remove the product from its
packing-box and retain all packaging until the equipment is inspected and tested.
Remove the protective caps from the inlet and outlet ports and retain for future use.
Inspect the equipment promptly and carefully.
If the equipment is damaged, notify the supplier and the carrier in writing within
three days. Retain all packing material for inspection. State the item number of the
product together with the order number and the supplier’s invoice number. Failure
to check and give notice of damage will void any and all warranty claims for those
deficiencies.
Replace the protective caps, if the equipment is not used immediately. Store the
equipment in dry and non-corrosive conditions
Intended use
☞ Do not use the pump or any system parts on humans or animals.
☞ Ensure that the individual components are only connected, combined and oper-
ated according to their design and as indicated in the instructions for use.
☞ Ensure that the individual components are only connected, combined and oper-
ated according to their design and as indicated in the instructions for use. Use
only original manufacturer’s spare parts and accessories. Otherwise the safety
and performance of the equipment, as well as the electromagnetic compatibility
of the equipment might be reduced.
The CE mark or the cTÜVus mark may be voided if not using original manufac-
turer’s spare parts.
☞ Comply with notes on correct vacuum and electrical connections, see section
”Use and operation”.
☞ The pumps are designed for ambient temperatures during operation between
+10°C and +40°C. Periodically check maximum temperatures if installing the
pump in a cabinet or a housing. Make sure ventilation is adequate to maintain
recommended operating temperature. Install an external automatic ventilation
system if necessary. If pumping hot process gases, make sure that the maximum
permitted gas inlet temperature is not exceeded. The maximum permitted gas
inlet temperature depends on several parameters like inlet pressure and ambient
temperature (see ”Technical data”).
☞ Particles and dust must not enter the pump.
Use the equipment only as intended, that is, for generation and measurement of
vacuum in vessels designed for that purpose. Any other use will automatically invali-
date all warranty and liability claims. Remain aware of safety and risks.
